Chapter 503 - Revenge 504: Fair Judgment (1/2)

”Young Master, Young Mistress, your parents have come back home and they are calling for you along with your two friends.”

The maid spoke in a shaky tone, and it's not hard for the twins to know why she is like that. It is most likely their mother's fault.

”Can I pretend that I have a stomachache and can't stand up?” Ophius asked. He is desperate not to go and meet the twins' parents.

”That's not going to work, Ophius. Do you really think that I would want to see my mother when she's upset? If I know that kind of excuse will work, I would have done it by now.” Aaron said. He tried the same excuse a long time ago, but it didn't end well for him and his mother strictly told him to not do that ever again.

”What do you want me to do? Accept a punishment that I don't deserve?”

Ever time Ophius' opens his mouth, Anna is starting to get annoyed by him. He keeps on complaining, then blame everything to Lucia, and repeats the same cycle again.

The first time she met Ophius, she thought that Ophius is like Lucia. Wild and free. But obviously her opinion about him is entirely wrong. He is the total opposite of Lucia. He likes to go have fun, but he limits himself and would always stick to the rules.

”Shut it, Ophius. You came and this is the result, so suck it up and get a move on!” Anna shouted at him. Other than her friends, this is the first time that she yelled at someone. But what can she do? She is tired of hearing all of Ophius whims.

”Better listen to her, Ophius. It's not good to make her angry. After all, she is like Mary Coleman when she's angry.” Lucia whispered to Ophius. Of course, what she said is not exactly correct, but in order to make Ophius shut his mouth, it's better to put fear on him.

Meanwhile, while waiting for the children to come down, Mary and Arion are leisurely sitting on the couch. Both of them are silent since the beginning, even Arion is having sweats because of the silence.

He is upset about what happened with the children, but at the same time, he is worried about what is going to happen to them.

”Take it easy on them, Mary. It's not like they got themselves injured. Their mission ended perfectly.” What Arion is really upset about is that the twins and their friends didn't go through a proper protocol.

Their organization doesn't follow rules that much, but going through a proper protocol for taking a mission is a must.

”Take it easy? You've gotta be kidding, right? Since when did I go easy on people who don't follow the rules? Whether it's our kids or not, rules are the rules. If we make an exemption for them, then the way other people look at us will change.” Mary didn't want to do this either, but sometimes, she got to do what she has to do.

”But...” Arion wanted to lessen Mary's anger, but it seems that it's way too late to do that now.

”Arion, you're too soft on them. You're supposed to be hard on them. You've finally reunited with the twins and I get that you don't want them to be so distant towards you, but sometimes, in these kinds of situations, you have so made an exception and be hard on them.”

If makes Mary so happy with the thought that Arion thinks so much about their children, but in cases like these, he shouldn't be showing his soft side towards their twins. As much as possible, Mary doesn't want Arion to spoil their twins way too much.

”Mistress, the children are here.” The maid who was told to fetch the children came back. Behind the maid, Mary and Arion saw the nervousness Anna and the others are showing. The confidence that they always see in these four are now all gone.

For Mary, it's quite fascinating that everywhere they go and whatever they do, they are always complimented. But now, because of one mistake that one of them did, they are in such a situation that they could have never fathomed.

”Mom, Dad...” Arion tried his best to show his poker face, but his eyes betrayed him. He is way too nervous to face his mother right now.
